Captures multi-discipline elements and stores them in a library for re-use as Standard Model Library Items.
You can then create multiple instances of Standard Model Library items at any position in the design model.
Note:
You must have write access to the elements to add them to the Standard Model Library.
The Standard Model Library Manager window, acts as a task hub to create the hierarchy required for the creation of standard model library items. The process is virtually identical to the creation of the hierarchy required in all applications.
When the Standard Model Library Manager window is opened for the first time a Confirm window is displayed.
